Intersections: A Panel on Latin Art & Design


Oct 19













/ARTIST TALK / PANEL / LATIN AMERICA / JAVIER REYES / ELEAZAR  RUIZ / ODD NOTION 


Immerse yourself in an evening celebrating the vibrant world of Latin American art and design. We're thrilled to host Dominican designers Javier Reyes and Eleazar Ruiz, both trailblazers who've founded their own design practices. They'll share their unique journeys, exploring how their Latin American roots have profoundly influenced their creative processes and shaped their remarkable careers.

What can we expect to hear?
Eleazar's journey—from his immigrant experience to his beginnings as an in-house graphic designer, culminating in the establishment of his now award-winning studio, Odd Notion—is a story he's eager to share.

Reyes will discuss the history of his work as a Latin American designer, his creative process and how Latin American culture deeply impacts his work. Reyes will expand on his work with Domincan and Oaxacan artisans, the nature of textile design and its impact on the communities and the planet.
